This post is a combined one of trips and experiences along the beautiful Rhine River Valley in Germany: Marksburg Castle in Braubach, a historic fortress in Koblenz (Ehrenbreitstein),  and the impressive monument in Rudesheim (Neiderwald).  I will also share some reflections about living in Vallendar, a small town along the Rhine River, and studying abroad ...
